    Mastering self-defence isn’t just about learning to fight—it’s about preparing for the unexpected. The principles of situational awareness, decisive action, and mental readiness separate those who can protect themselves from those who rely on luck. The best defense isn’t always physical; it starts with a mindset. Understanding how to assess threats, navigate risk, and develop strategic habits ensures safety in an unpredictable world.

  • “You need to be present where your feet are planted. You can't rush the process. And worse yet, when we are achieving a goal and we're in the pursuit of a goal, if all we're focused on is the goal and not the journey, we get to the goal and it's very fleeting.”

    Marketing isn’t just about being seen—it’s about being intentional. The most successful businesses don’t wait for customers to come to them; they create compelling messages that attract, engage, and convert. When marketing is driven by purpose, it becomes a force multiplier, turning small efforts into massive impact.

    Arwen Becker built her business by recognizing an underserved market and reshaping her entire strategy to meet its needs. Through bold marketing moves, she didn’t just grow—she scaled beyond what she thought possible. Her journey proves that the right strategy, persistence, and a willingness to pivot can change everything.

    Arwen is a speaker, endurance athlete, and entrepreneur who transformed the financial industry by focusing on women. She grew and sold her company at 20 times its original valuation.

    Expert action steps:

    1. Small, consistent actions lead to big results. Success doesn’t come from one big move—it’s built over time with daily habits and small, intentional steps. The key is consistency, as small efforts compound into significant achievements.

    2. Take responsibility and put in the work. No one else can do it for you. Set priorities, start your day with intention, and tackle the most important tasks before distractions take over. Success requires discipline and effort.

    3. Be present in the journey, not just the goal. Focusing solely on the end result can make accomplishments feel fleeting. Instead, embrace the process, learn from challenges, and appreciate each step along the way. The journey is what truly shapes success.

  • “There is great ROI in treating people with honor and respect and seeing them, helping them feel seen, heard and valued.”

    Success in business isn’t just about profit—it’s about impact. The best leaders understand that doing good and doing well go hand in hand. When companies invest in people, foster purpose-driven cultures, and create workplaces where employees feel valued, they don’t just thrive—they leave a lasting legacy. Treating people well isn’t just ethical; it’s the smartest business strategy for growth, retention, and long-term success.

    H.R. Huntsman learned this through experience. From a tough childhood to founding a global nonprofit and later coaching business leaders, he realized that real success comes from making life useful. His focus is on building “destination workplaces” where employees feel seen, heard, and motivated to contribute at their highest level.

  • “People have been losing trust in legacy media and that includes social media. Why? Well, because they’re narrative driven folks. They’re all about pushing a particular agenda.”

    Traditional marketing is losing its power—ads are expensive, and social media is oversaturated. The smartest entrepreneurs are turning to podcast guesting, the fastest-growing way to attract high-value clients, build credibility, and boost sales. Speaking on the right shows lets business owners, coaches, and experts tap into engaged audiences without massive ad spend.

    Podcast listeners are action-takers with high incomes, making them prime customers. But most guests fail by rambling, lacking a clear message, or treating guesting as casual exposure. Those who refine their approach—choosing the right podcasts and delivering a compelling, conversion-focused message—turn guest appearances into major revenue streams.

    Want to grow your business in 2025? Skip expensive ads and start speaking directly to the people ready to buy. Whether you’re a coach, consultant, or entrepreneur, podcast guesting can take you to the next level.

  • “You have to have a never quit, never say die attitude. Because even if you’re working hard, even if you’re coachable and teachable, you are going to have moments in business, many moments in business, where you want to quit. And you’re going to have every good reason in the world to quit.”

    Sales is the lifeblood of any business, and success in it isn’t about having a specific personality—it’s about discipline, adaptability, and grit. The key to winning in sales is a mix of relentless work ethic, coachability, and an unshakable refusal to quit. If you can embrace rejection, learn from every interaction, and refine your approach, you’ll master the game. And beyond making the sale, the real art is in customer retention—reminding clients why they chose you in the first place. People forget the value they receive unless you make it clear, and that’s a fundamental business principle.

    Adam Allred shares his journey from door-to-door sales to multi-million dollar business exits, emphasizing that selling is about energy transfer and authenticity. His insights dismantle the myth that only extroverts thrive in sales—anyone can win if they master the right mindset. He also highlights how market adaptation is crucial, recounting his experiences adjusting sales techniques based on regional differences.

    Adam Allred is a serial entrepreneur with a background in door-to-door sales, having built and sold multiple businesses, including a garbage company and a pest control empire. With years of experience hiring and training thousands of sales reps, he now runs ventures across different industries, consistently scaling and exiting companies at a high level.

  • “They won't open themselves up to you. You will feel like something's off, but you can't and won't know what or why. This begins with how you show up as a guest”

    Standing out isn't about flashy resumes or rehearsed pitches; it's about sharing your story with heart. When you talk about your journey and the lessons you've learned, you make it easy for people to connect with you. To be known, be clear about who you are. To be trusted, show up prepared and authentic. To be liked, start by genuinely liking others.

    Authentic storytelling builds emotional connections. It’s about more than facts—it’s about creating resonance. Trust grows through consistent, heartfelt communication, and passion is the spark that keeps people engaged. Genuine care isn’t an add-on; it’s the foundation of real relationships.

  • “When you deliver a message, 90% of what somebody gets out of that message is not what you say.”

    Effective leadership is built on the foundation of clear communication, resilience, and the ability to navigate change with confidence. Strong leaders understand that communication isn’t just about delivering information—it’s about creating connections, fostering understanding, and ensuring that messages resonate with clarity and purpose. Poor communication can lead to misunderstandings, disengagement, and significant financial loss within organizations.

    Amos McCoy was raised in small-town Pennsylvania, mentored by everyone from auctioneers to war heroes, and shockingly successful without ever earning a college degree—because, as it turns out, common sense isn’t something you get with a diploma. Amos shares stories about grit, resilience, and why having your mother’s employer as your first mentor teaches you more about life than any MBA program ever could. He’s navigated corporate chaos, turned organizational meltdowns into masterclasses, and proves that real leadership isn’t about knowing everything—it’s about learning from everyone.

    Entrepreneurship is like running a marathon through a minefield, blindfolded, and our guest managed to cross the finish line with style. Born in the Congo, AJ’s family faced adversity straight out of a Hollywood drama. They fled the country, lost everything, and landed in Canada with nothing but their grit. Fast-forward, AJ built a multimillion-dollar SaaS company, all while proving that persistence isn’t just a virtue—it’s a business model. Along the way, he learned what’s truly important: adaptability, taking risks (even sweeping floors for free), and creating value by solving real-world problems. This is a story of rejection, reinvention, and relentless optimism.

    1. Redefine Your Edge

    Challenge your perception of limits. When you think you’ve hit your maximum capacity—mentally or physically—push a little further. Growth happens when you step into the unknown and test your resilience beyond comfort.

    2. Conquer Negative Chatter

    Silence the self-doubt in your mind by adopting a clear internal cue, like saying “stop” or “let’s go.” This mental reset can help you take action and maintain focus when facing challenges in life or business.

    3. Take Calculated Risks

    Embrace opportunities that test your skills and stretch your capabilities. Even if you fail, the experience will build resilience and teach you valuable lessons, helping you grow and reach new heights.
